Sarah Goldfarb - Biography
-
The female pseudonym of Sarah Goldfarb hides a male artist that lives in Marseille, France and who is definitively part of these new electronic emergent signatures.

Since 1994 Sarah Goldfarb has organized a lot of parties with local techno collectives on a register inspired from north american pioneers such as Richie Hawtin, Jeffs Mills, Carl Craig and their direct heirs like Baby Ford, Ricardo Villalobos, Robag Wruhme, Luciano or Someone Else. The refined structures and the contained tempo of this minimal scene was just fascinating this DJ and LIVE artist, even before representative and now famous labels such as Treibstoff, Kompakt or Traum/Trapez became widely known and played in all (good) european dance-floors. In 2001, Jean Vince, now recognized as one of the best local DJs, bought his first machines. If his DJ sets oscillates between minimal house and techno, his productions are a subtle mix between micro house and hypnotic techno.

For his production Jean Vince choose the pseudonym of Sarah Goldfarb, its the name of the amphetamhined grandmother in Darren Aranofskys Requiem 'For A Dream', a movie that was an aesthetic shock to this cinema lover. One should one that Sarah Goldfarb completed studies in this field before investing himself completely into electronic music.

This female pseudonym brought him good luck. In 2003, becoming more and more famous, his productions were pressed by Colognes well known label Trapez, but were just the beginning : Sarah Goldfarb started working on regular basis with many other pretty well known labels all over Europe, such as Handeld or Treibstoff. And its with the latter, and especially with its owner Marcel Janovsky that a strong and friendly complicity was born, so he choosed Treibstoff as his homebase label.

However, being a freedom lover, in 2005 Jean Vince also helped create a new net label in his city, Indigomagenta.com, releasing free tracks and taking inspiration from the creative common licencenses philosophy. The label Roman Photo was founded a few months later with some of his friends, becoming acquainted with followed by his meeting with the american great and emergent artist Someone Else who confirmed him the first smashing Roman Photo release, definitely a very good and promising start.
